The css-discuss folks didn't have any solutions for this one, so maybe
some new eyes will help! =)

---------- Forwarded message ----------
Let's say I have

<q>One plus two plus three plus four plus five makes fifteen.</q>

and I wish to have it rendered as

One plus two plus ... plus five makes fifteen.

I'm trying to work with the following:

<q>One plus two plus <del>three plus four</del> plus five makes fifteen.</q>

with styles such as:

q del { /* What goes here? */ }
q del:before {content: "...";}

In the first selector, display:hidden doesn't work because the
ellipsis disappears.  Various width-constricting options with
overflow:hidden don't seem to do anything either, possibly because the
del element is not being displayed as a block.

Any ideas how to replace inline text with an ellipsis using CSS?  Thanks!
